Hello, I need a native British/American (proofreader/writer/editor) to check the English translation of an original text of another language. ONLY natives please, NO AGENCIES. First: You will take a quick look at the text so you can measure how much time and efforts it needs. Next: You will give me your best quote. I need excellent English written by a native (smooth context). Thank you.

Thanks a lot for the invitation. I’d be happy to proofread your text but, as you say, first I’d need to take a quick look at it before I can give you my best quote. In the meantime, here’s a bit more about me and my work. I edit web sites, marketing materials, press-releases, games, video scripts, theses, business plans, patents, instruction manuals, applications and much more besides. I offer unlimited revisions at no extra charge, and I can be contacted most of the day and night. Looking forward to working with you. Kind regards, David. PS. Samples available on request

Hello. I hope you do not have anything against non British or American English speakers :-) I am in South Africa. I understand that you are trying to avoid Indian agencies "Google mass workers" as I call them. I am not one of them. I do proofreading work in both English and French on a regular basis, and a lot of what I call "repair work" of badly Google translated texts. I check spelling, grammar, punctuation, style and language and correct/change if and when necessary. Depending on the language of the original text, I can also check if the translation is accurate (I also do a lot of these, and most of the time it has to be entirely redone...). I would like to have a look at your document before we go any further, please contact me as the document does not appear in the project description. Thank you Marie Capelle

Hello, I am UK-born and educated to University level, with a degree in Psychology and Sociology. I also have college qualifications in English Language, Literature, and Business Studies. I am an Associate Member of the Society for Editors and Proofreaders, and am comfortable working in US English. Here is a selection of some recent work I have completed here, on Elance, and more widely, with favourable reviews: - proofreading a German to English translation of a company's product and service descriptions - proofreading the website of a Belgian market research company - proofreading a series of documents relating to a Quality Management System - proofreading in-game text and menus of a flight-sim computer game - proofreading an accountancy report It would be great if I can be of assistance to you too. Best wishes, Gavin

M y background experience of proofreading for a major London design and publishing company shows that I have a keen eye for detail. I had to read in up to 23 languages from copy supplied, from OCR-scanned, and rewriting where necessary. I worked in London for 40 years, and now live in France. I would like to help you in your project. If you have any questions, please contact.

Hello, Thanks for invitation. I am a British writer with a specialty in technical writing and creative writing for web content. I believe I would perform exceptionally in this position as I am knowledgeable, creative and my English is outstanding. I have gone through the details of your project description. I would be very willing to do this work for you as I have a lot of previous experience in writing content articles for various different clients. I've had to write about a variety of different topics in the past. This, I believe, displays my versatility when writing articles as I can write about any topic to a high standard in my opinion (and my previous clients' opinion!). I have done plenty of article writing, which focused on SEO, over the last 7 years and believe that I'm experienced enough to be capable of completing a wide range of tasks to a high standard. When writing about a topic that I've been set, I'm meticulous in my research methods to make sure that I produce the best work for my client. I want to produce the best possible work to please both the client and myself. Your articles would be no different and I would make sure that I put in the hours to provide you with articles of the highest quality. Also, I have quite a lot of free time on my hands right now and I can focus all my efforts towards your particular assignment. Thanks Prachi

Aside from being a native English speaker, I have an academic background in writing. I assisted many friends and family members with their writing during college. I read thoroughly for full comprehension and take pride in my ability to clarify people's thoughts. I have mastered grammar and punctuation rules for American English. As a new freelancer, I have found that I am much more adept at editing than I am at quickly writing short articles. Please see my profile for more information about me. Feel free to message me with any questions that you may have. Thank you for considering my bid.
